Hi Danny,

Thanks for checking in with me on this.

Instead of removing the build configuration information entirely, how
about transforming the store paths in some way that makes them invisible
to the reference scanner without losing information?  For example,
inserting a period (.) somewhere within the store hash would be
sufficient and fairly obvious.

What do you think?

Also, the new phase should end with #t.

     Thanks,
       Mark
